You have other nameservers specified in your domain. You need to select "I have specific nameservers" and use;

NS1.nfoservers.com
NS2.nfoservers.com

Then you need to wait about 3-5 hours for the DNS propagation and then add it to your control panel.

Also it is not possible to have your forums at that link since you currently have your wordpress linked in your main directory.

So if you wish you can move the forums in to the wordpress folder, however the link would be wordpress/forums

I changed it to
http://forums.cheesium.site.nfoservers.com/


But for http://cheesium.site.nfoservers.com/ I can't click any pages because it just forwards me to http://cheesium.site.nfoservers.com/wordpress/X
(X being the page information)

Try going to http://cheesium.site.nfoservers.com/ and clicking home

How do I fix it?

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve. Can you please explain?

Right now:

http://cheesium.site.nfoservers.com/wordpress is invalid.
http://cheesium.site.nfoservers.com brings me to a Wordpress install.
When I click a link from http://cheesium.site.nfoservers.com, it brings me to a page at http://cheesium.com, telling me that you have Wordpress configured to use that domain as its base URL.

You have to install things manually, not using the autoinstaller.

This is simple.

Also you can't install Wodpress and your forums in the same directory.
Well you could but it will be a huge mess.

Basically makes your wordpress site go to www.domain.com and then forums to point www.domain.com/forums

I have little time today, you can try to get a hold of me on IRC and I might be able to help out.

There are several ways to do it.

Like Icewolf mentioned:

You could redo your file structure so it's installed like your wanting and install wordpress but without the wordpress folder, and install the forum by placing a forum folder in the area you just installed wordpress. Then install the forum in that forum folder.
You then would import your saved databases or change your configs to your good databases.
Also you would have to edit the lines in your configs that point to where your sites were originally installed. Both wordpress and forum configs need changing.

eg.

mysite.com/wordpress/ would be changed to mysite.com
and
mysite.com/wordpress/forum/ woud be changed to mysite.com/forum/
